Downtown

Located on the West bank of the Willamette river, downtown Portland has undergone a successful urban revitalization since the 1970s, and in the past decade alone there have been dozens of new buildings constructed, including townhomes, offices, and high rise condominiums.

Downtown Portland is the heart of the city, and so if you are seeking dining, shopping, or nightlife, then it is a great place to explore, with hundreds of independent retailers and excellent access to public transportation, including the well known fareless square where people can ride the street car for free.
